Before and After Classroom Pictures For the 2012 School Year!

Since I worked Summer School Reading Camp, I was able to keep my room up. Nothing faded and since I really liked the dark blue-light blue-black theme, I was going to use it again this year. It is really hard to make the 1970's brown wood paneling exciting, but here are my before and after pictures as we get rolling this year!

BEFORE: Front & Center of Room

BEFORE: Back Left of Room

AFTER: Back Left of RoomMath Center, Math Supplies, Vocabulary Board & Gathering Area for Math "Areas of Concern" Board

Vocabulary Board

Math "Area of Concern" Board

I'm going to use this board to spiral and review the areas that our school wide test results show we are lacking in ~ fractions, measurement and geometry.

BEFORE: Back Right of Room at Front Door

AFTER: Back Right of Room at Front Door

I got a new {actually old and busted, but storage is storage} cabinet and new posters based on our "Areas of Concern." The bottom six pages are third grade's Common Core Standards in kid friendly language.

Plants are trying to come back to life....Not a cook and not a gardener, oh well, acceptance is part of life! :)

AFTER: Back of Room, U-Shaped Table is Ready for Meet the Teacher Day.
